On the topic of reparations, I don’t think that I should receive a sum of money. Because that is not reparations. If I make a list of the family I lost, it’s more than forty people. My lives of my father, my mother, and my siblings, are priceless. I feel that... For me, a form of reparations... could be related to the Amnesty Law, for example. They passed that law at the time as a curtain to cover up the perpetrators. We should all work so that one day, whatever administration is in power in the country passes a decree overruling the Amnesty Law and allowing justice to advance. We the victims demand justice all the time and never get it. Now the office of Tutela Legal has been closed. This is a new re-victimization of the victims, because the testimonies there are from times when we faced so much hardship.
